Inside The Mud Room's cottage-like façade, rows of blank ceramics wait to be slathered in colorful paint and fired in the kiln. During open-studio hours, pairs of mug painters can add personal touches to their morning coffees, inscribing cups with stern warnings to thieving coworkers or daubing pottery with patterns inspired by creative ideas from the studio. After a fiery stint in the kiln, mugs are ready to be picked up by their artistic decorators one week after they’ve been painted. Today’s second option awards artists with five studio visits, which can be shared between friends and family or horded by one person as they attempt to paint ceramic replicas of their friends and family. The punch card is valid toward studio time for glass fusing or pottery painting, however pottery and glass projects must be purchased separately.

The Mud Room

After slinging itself onto the Michigan art scene in 1996, The Mud Room has since spun into a hub of creativity for artists of all ages and artistic experience. Under the direction of the studio's in-house teachers, small groups learn to wield everything from paintbrushes to pottery wheels during four types of classes, which teach such skills as fusing colored glass tiles into kaleidoscopic works or hand-forming ceramics to recreate ancient casseroles. Customers can also stop in to paint pre-made ceramics themselves. The pieces come in various shapes and sizes, which patrons can adorn with colored glaze before handing their artwork over to the professionals to be fired and finished. The studio also offers group pottery classes for parties including girls' nights out, birthdays, and kids' celebrations. In keeping with its safety-first approach, The Mud Room features only nontoxic, lead-free products, ensuring the finished pieces are safe to use with food.

Any aspiring actress, singer, or model/comedienne/favourite daughter can kick her career into high gear by starring in a sad yet thrilling made-for-TV motion picture. If you’re looking for your vehicle to stardom, try taking the lead in one of these prime-time-ready plots:

Sin to the Looking Glass: A woman wakes up to find her fraternal twin sister cooking breakfast for her and her husband. She can’t tell if this is weird or nice until she remembers that her husband can’t tell her and her twin apart. It’s too late because her husband has already woken up in a fun mood and had fun with the twin. The woman knows what she has to do.

Really Going Bump in the Night: A woman goes to bed, only to hear the sound of her husband moving around. Thinking that he’s being abducted, she swings a lamp at his abductor. She hears two bodies fall to the ground and realizes he was actually just cheating on her. She knows what she has done.

Holding Court: A woman is walking around the mall living a normal life when she runs into her son’s sexy but lonely basketball coach at the food court.
